Extra Ultrasound

My doctor is awesome :) I went in for my second appointment--routine, nothing special except getting to hear the heartbeat again--and I got another ultrasound just 'cause. Although he found the heartbeat pretty quickly and I heard it, I think he was worried that I had felt a little jipped because the static was a lot louder...so he wheeled in a little ultrasound machine and showed me the heartbeat. We also got to see the baby's spine and his/her face from the side, which already has such distinct features! You can see his/her little nose and mouth :)
According to the doctor, he's 8 cm long now, very healthy and apparently very active. He/she was moving quite a bit during the ultrasound :P
